Diabetic – tax relief ?
Can a diabetic claim tax relief on the cost of their food?
Yes, if you have been advised by your doctor to purchase “diabetic” products as part of your diet. A letter from a doctor confirming that the individual in respect of whom the claim is made is diabetic and that the products are purchased on the advice of the doctor is acceptable. If receipts are requested, qualifying receipts are not confined to those from a chemist, doctor, etc. – receipts from shops, supermarkets, etc., in respect of food products manufactured specifically for diabetics are also acceptable.
